Very cheap biko, there are 3 people here who had come from overseas to do it .

those are people that don't have good jobs over there,alot of our people are just managing over there,or don't have good insurance policy,that's just the truth

ParisNY:
Hi Ladies - I'm new here. I have read the entire thread, started taking the suggested supplements and feel confident with my infertility journey.

I'm based in the US and my employer provides 100% coverage for one cycle of fertility treatments at $0 cost to me. However, my doctor is suggesting two cycles due to low 0.4 AMH and diminished ovarian reserve. I'm worried about paying out of pocket for the second cycle since I'm using an expensive hospital. Instead of egg retrieval and implantation, my doctor wants us to focus on retrieving eggs and freezing as much as possible before considering implantation.

What can I do to maximize that one chance for healthy eggs? She also declined multiple embryo transfer. Is there a huge risk in trying just one time in faith - like if only one egg fertilizes, use that one instead of freezing multiple eggs? I've read your experiences and know its tough on the body.

"Your benefit includes 1 Smart Cycle which bundles coverage for a (IVF fresh cycle, embryo transfer and egg freezing) and all services, tests, and treatments you may need. Additionally, if a member uses one smart cycle that doesn't result in a pregnancy, members have access to an additional smart cycle. Progyny also covers donor tissue services, surrogacy counseling, and adoption expenses"

It's says here that if member uses one smart cycle that doesn't result in pregnancy that you have access to added smart cycle, doesn't that mean two free cycles

She is being relative with her comparison. She is not saying it's easy to get the money. Even in USA that 33k USD to some people, is their yearly salary without spending, generally IVF is relatively cheaper in Nigeria (as to what an IVF is) than every other country. No where country is easy, some people cannot afford 10k same as some people can't afford 10usd. She's being relative it's not that difficult.. I've had 4 people who came back from USA to do IVF in Nigeria and their major reason was, it's cheaper and will save dem more money in Nigeria.

but you can't say something is not that difficult when your not in that shoes,how can you say it's not that difficult,anyway let's agree to disagree,I don't want to debate on this matter

Yinkaolola:
The fact remains that it’s cheaper in Nigeria than other places. What’s cheap to someone is expensive to someone else. Generally, IVF in Nigeria is considered cheaper, even japa people come back to do it here. Y’all should stop roasting her. It is cheap.

and no we aren't roasting her,just correcting the word she used as it might be hurtful to some people that are still saving or borrowing to do this IVF.
She's nice ,and I know she was only trying to encourage the group and share her experience,a very nice experience,am happy for her and tapping into the miracle.how wish something like that can happen to me,that am actually pregnant right now,am going straight to vacation,I will dance on my head I swear
But let's be nice,not everyone is carrying dollar back to Nigeria

Yinkaolola:
What was the PGT for?

it's genetic testing to see if the embryo have any disabilities or impairment,it's hardly done in Nigeria

do you have 2 .6 million laying around in your house, please share since it's chicken change for you,this economy when tenant can't pay rent, just see how a mature woman was begging my hubby for time because of house rent and you say spending millions is cheap,how is it cheap,my husband livee in America,did they tell you they pick money from the floor there,japa people come home to do it,it's not only because of money,do you know that if your overweight alot of doctors there won't do IVF for you, another reason why some women come back home to do it, cause Nigeria doctors don't care,as long as you can pay,I was surprised to find out from one lady at the hospital that they borrowed the money,they used in doing IVF,I was surprised, please don't say IVF is cheap cause some couples don't even have money for ordinary couples test, saying IVF is cheap is like making my efforts look cheap, especially me that is planning for another round.

It is well sister I understand how you feel, please change hospital for d next one and seek for second option before making a final decision. God will put a smile on our faces soon

amen and thank you

JadeWilliam:
Imagine how cheap IVF is in Nigeria. We paid $33,000 in the US. PGT test on the embryo was $6,000. They only test 4 embryos with that $6,000 paid not like if u have 10 embryos, 6k covers it. Total is almost $40,000.

I’d tell anyone that wants to do IVF to just come to Nigeria & save money. 750,000 Naira is like $1000. Imagine!!

And these American drs are not as good as our Naija drs. From what I’ve read on this page, Nigerian drs know their drill. I will leave my IVF experience story for another day.

You say it's cheap cause you calculating naira with dollar,that's why ,we spent about 2 million 6 hundred for my procedure and expenses,how many people in Nigeria have that kind of money to spend,not once but twice or 4 times,my husband lives in new York,it was his sister in law that told him that she came back to Nigeria to do hers, because her insurance only covers 60 percent of the expenses,but right now I've discovered Nigeria doctors are very greedy and lie alot at least my own was,a great big liar,knew I had only one follicle still went ahead with egg retrieval,told me there's no treatment for bad sperm motility,made me make my husband go through tesa surgery,ha it's a long and painful story what that doctor did to me,and it's my God that will judge him for me,my biggest regret was not going to the hospital my sister in law did hers,all because of stories I heard that this doctor tries,I didn't know all that was hearsay,do you know he doesn't even have IVF equipment in his hospital bit his collecting money for ivf,took us all the way from warri to benin to do egg retrieval and implantation,all those money for transport and fuel and accomodation and he didn't even tell me all this before I paid the money for the IVF to him,fee day back I sat down with some of the receipts I could find and calculated a total of 2 million ,six hundred thousand ,all for nothing,just heavy pain and heavy bleeding,ha stubborness is not good if only I had listen to my husband and went to the hospital his sister in law used by Gods grace I would have been pregnant by now

JadeWilliam:
Don’t give up. I got 6 eggs but Dr said 3 were immature & fertilized the 3 matured ones & only one embryo was normal after doing the PGT test. The one embryo implanted with prayers so don’t give up. IVF is brutal & not for the faint hearted but with God, all things are possible.

thanks for the encouragement but my cycles failed this time,it's been 20 days after I got a negative result and followed by real heavy bleeding

Victoriouswoman:
I have been married for quite a while now. Tried TTC, went to specialist fertility hospitals. I and my husband did all fertility test it was all normal. We decided to go for IVF. DR saw our test and said i will be placed on stimulant immediately after seeing my results. After day 10 of stimms with several scans. I had more than 20 follicles. After the trigger shot. I went for egg retrieval and 5 days after 4 eggs were transfered for me. This is my day 3 after transfer. Waiting patiently on God

Congratulations

.

That's my amh results,so why all this

.

After spending all this money and all the pains after retrieval I got only one egg and they told me that am young that I would have lots of egg,am just so sad have been crying,I got only one egg from the retrieval,I think the best thing is to just pack my load and spare both my husband and myself anymore pain and stres

MummyNeto:
They can freeze his sperm, and use it on you when everything is ready.

tesa sperm is not recommended for freezing, doctors have already told me that freezing will damage them all

MummyNeto:
@Elohorp sis please do as she has suggested. Its a very good idea

I've decided to leave everything for Jehovah,my faith is in him they should do everything, whatever embroy they have they should transfer for me,I will take it,God will do his work

jully9:
I will advise you to freeze the matured egg and re-start another simulation next month. Not all the egg will fertilize and there are many factors that can lead to successful cycle. You need at least 12 Good follicle for a better chances. And also be patient don't be in a haste. I started my cycle in February had so many obstacles but I was patient, I even have to freeze my embryo due to my endometrium where too thickened but it ended in praise on my fist trial which took almost 5months.

I will discuss it with the doctor,the problem is my hubby doesn't leave he Nigeria,he came here for. This IVF specially and will not be around by next month,so if I freeze egg when will I be able to do this again

MummyNeto:
hmmmm, But this here is an issue which can make your cycle to be cancelled or even adviced to use a donor egg..what was your amh level exactly? It doesn’t just look at the reserve but also on how you can respond to stimulation.
One more thing, your last line wasn’t necessary at all, this is just your first cycle and you keep blaming your DH, so many mamas have gone through more than 3 cycles but you will hardly hear them put blame on any of their partners. You both are in it together, this is not time to resent him please, ivf has many twists, and this egg issue is one of it. Keep praying and keep hope alive.

I don't know the amh level right now,will have to ask the doctor,am not resenting him,it's just that before he used to say some nasty things , putting all blame on me, anyway I have forgiven those, concerning the egg issues on today scan more follicles were seen but not as many mature ones as the doctor was expecting,they were about 5 mature, please is that enough for me to continue this cycle??

MummyNeto:
sorry sis, did you check your AMH level before the procedure? Its a test that looks at your ovarian reserve. Have you had any previous surgery around the ovaries?

ovarian reserve is ok,I have not done any surgery or anything,I don't have any fertility issue am doing IVF because of my husband side

yetty247:
I copied it from joy moretti page on Facebook.

Ginger, garlic, Tumeric are harmless and most people do smoothies with them. If you don't like them, kindly Waka pass

Are you a Doc? if yes, I know you people go against them but truly they are effective for treatment

you also prescribed a drug in that write up,apart from the natural things and you have no right to prescribe drugs for people

Please what caused only one follicle to grow during IVF simulation please note in my 20s

MrsMusty:
Hello everyone. I just had my embryo transfer. The lady asked me to lay down for about fifteen minutes but I really wanted to urinate because my ovaries are still enlarged from the egg retrieval. Long story short, I stood up about 10 minutes after they completed the procedure. I couldn't hold the pee anymore. I was given something to pee in and asked to lie down again. Did I just worsen/ruin my chances? Please help!!!

any updates

Is it possible for the number of follicles to increase few days before retrieval?
Has anyone experienced increase in number of eggs just 3 to 4 days before egg retrieval??

Pojomojo:
wouldn't you like surrogacy? If yes, sallygal17 can help you ensure everything is signed.

he said he doesn't have money for ivf,so how is recommending surrogacy going to help

Ifecotech22:
Greetings all expectant mothers, may God grant all our prayers to hold babies this year

I sincerely need advice

My wife hasn't seen her menses for some months now, the gyno placed her on metformin. She actually was diagnosed of pcos with very low progesterone level

Now the challenge is, BMI is 23, blood sugar is 78. And the sugar level keeps going down. The doctor advised her to take carbohydrates before the metformin. I thought metformin was for reducing sugar level? How come she is being advised to take food with sugar again? The drug is also making her weak

My question is, should she continue taking this metformin?
Should she induce the period while she continues taking drugs that will help her boost the progesterone level?

Please someone should help me


M

tell the doctors your concern
Metformin in this case is not given to lower the sugar but to help with the pcos,I took it for a while,and she can just consume more carbs to booast her sugar level,get a good gynecologist to work with her

scally11:
This issue is getting me bothered. Its been 5years after marriage no single miscarriage not to talk of pregnancy. Often times friends snide and make jest of me but truth is the problem doesn't come from me. Wife did hsg and result was bilateral tubal occlusion meaning both fallopian tubes blocked. I have been praying, fasting and become a shame that its getting to me. Friends are saying I should look outside and I know what could result. Is there anyone with blocked fallopian tubes solved naturally? I don't have money for ivf and patience is running out

try and see a doctor,I know someone with blocked tubes who with surgery the tubes were opened

To be honest,I love my hubby but I know the pressure this has put on me,IVF is emotional, since 2 days now I no come online,I no fit do anything,why? I went to hospital for daily injection,nurse inject me wrongly,I screamed within few minutes my stomach has swollen badly, doctor admit me for hospital,I just came home this evening, yesterday when I saw my husband,I won't lie,I didn't feel love infact I almost felt hatred,I have been praying to God to help me calm my mind,so no I wont advice anyone to put themselves in stressful and painful situation,avoid wahala before it jam you,the money for the procedure is not an issue for us by God grace,yet I still have challenge,so don't white wash it to make it look so easy and fun,love is not the only thing that makes marriage successful.
This is the same baby that my friend had 3 within 2 years naturally,I just pray to God to make everything successful for me because I know how I feel,I see baby things,fine clothes and shoes I want buy but no baby

Blendy77:
Thank you Madam. Marriage for you is all about reproduction, giving birth and then what next? The kids grow up and leave and the man starts sleeping around because he realized he was forced to marry someone he doesn't love to avoid having kids with SS genotype for minor stuff that medical innovations can take care of. I haven't done ivf before so I don't kno the cost abi? Continue deceiving young people with your mentality n mindset. The guy has been advised so it's left for him to make up his mind and take a decision if he truly loves the lady in question but stop telling him there's no solution to the problem except seperation cos that is where you got it wrong. Someone who has not even done one egg recovery to kno if they put you to sleep or not during the process is telling me I don't kno the cost of IVf. You must be a novice in this matter and also this group. Continue with your archaic advice.

u have given him my advice and I stick with it if you like run your mouth na your business,the same advice I will give my own brother and my own child is what I gave to him,it's up to him,do if you like carry my advice as your problem,na your business,you want to use the life of people not yet born to suffer sickle cell madam,the blood of those kids will drag you wherever you are

your very stupid for you to bring my question about my procedure into this matter,if your a witch it won't work for you,na fire go burn you

Timitoyo:
Btw 2-5 days once you stop .

thank you, Please during egg retrieval will I be awake or do they put to sleep,I want to know in advance

I stopped microgynon a few days again, strated some other tablets I was given,I don't know what the are,does anyone have any idea if their names, and still going to the hospital for daily injections, please am I supposed to see my period after stopping the microgynon pills??

[quote author=Lordsinger post=124073736]It's not so easy trust me.
We've talked about this, we know the implications if we continue.
But then, I feel our bond getting stronger ever since we found out we shouldn't BE.

That's why I'm here seeking advice,
I don't know what I feel lately, if it's love, pity or undiscovered emotion. My dear please let go,this is the same advice I would give to my brother and if the girl were my sister I will also give her the same advice,short time pain is better than a lifetime of sorrow,my uncle had 7 as children,spent all his life savings trying to keep them alive but not even one is alive today and I have to tell you the truth IVF is not 100 percent,let's say you save 1.3 million then you went for ivf,she might not get pregnant that first time,so that money is gone you have to go and find another million again for another IVF again,what kind of love will you be feeling then,then not to talk of the emotional trauma,am currently doing IVF,I Know what am going through emotionally,my dear I advice you as a sister,let go time will heal you,don't let yourself suffer in the future
